DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Technical solutions of the embodiment will be described in a
clearly and fully understandable way in connection with the
drawings related to the embodiments of the present disclosure. It
is apparent that the described embodiments are just a part but not
all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the
described embodiments herein, those skilled in the art can obtain
other embodiment(s), without any inventive work, which should be
within the scope of the present disclosure.
Unless otherwise defined, all the technical and scientific terms
used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of
ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs.
The terms, such as "first," "second," or the like, which are used
in the description and the claims of the present application, are
not intended to indicate any sequence, amount or importance, but
for distinguishing various components. Also, the terms, such as
"a/an," "the" or the like, are not intended to limit the amount,
but for indicating the existence of at lease one. The terms, such
as "comprise/comprising," "include/including," or the like are
intended to specify that the elements or the objects stated before
these terms encompass the elements or the objects and equivalents
thereof listed after these terms, but not preclude other elements
or objects. The terms, "on," "under," or the like are only used to
indicate relative position relationship, and when the position of
the object which is described is changed, the relative position
relationship may be changed accordingly.
The inventors realized that, a length of a sub-pixel in column
direction in a triangle-shaped arrangement manner is the same as a
length of a sub-pixel in column direction in a strip-shaped
arrangement manner, and a length of a sub-pixel in row direction in
a triangle-shaped arrangement manner is larger than a length of a
sub-pixel in row direction in a strip-shaped arrangement manner; as
a result, an amount of sub-pixels in a display panel with the
triangle-shaped arrangement manner is less than an amount of
sub-pixels in a display panel with the strip-shaped arrangement
manner so that a resolution of a display panel with the
triangle-shaped arrangement manner is lower than a resolution of a
display panel with the strip-shaped arrangement manner. Moreover, a
display effect of lines in a frame in the triangle-shaped
arrangement manner is far less than a display effect of lines in a
frame in the display panel with the strip-shaped arrangement
manner.
Embodiment I
Embodiments of the present application provide a display method
applicable in display panels in which sub-pixels are arranged in a
triangle-shaped arrangement manner as illustrated in FIG. 1(b). As
illustrated in FIG. 2, the display method includes steps as
below.
S201, generating an original image including a plurality of first
virtual pixels according to image information. Each of the first
virtual pixels includes a plurality of first virtual sub-pixels of
different colors. The first virtual sub-pixels are arranged in a
strip-shaped arrangement manner.
For example, the original image is generated by processing the
image information of display frames. The original image includes a
plurality of first virtual pixels. Optionally, each of the first
virtual pixels can include a first virtual red sub-pixel R, a first
virtual green sub-pixel G and a first virtual blue sub-pixel B. The
original image can also include first virtual sub-pixels of other
colors, such as a first virtual white sub-pixel W, however, the
present application is not limited thereto.
S202, calculating a display component of a second virtual sub-pixel
according to display components of first virtual sub-pixels of a
same color as the second virtual sub-pixel in at least one first
virtual pixel. The second virtual sub-pixel and a sub-pixel have a
same length in row direction and in column direction, and a second
virtual pixel includes a plurality of second virtual sub-pixels of
different colors.
Exemplarily, the step can be achieved by the following two
solutions.
In a first solution, calculating a sum of products of multiplying
display components of first virtual sub-pixels of a same color in
at least two adjacent first virtual pixels by respective
proportional coefficients to obtain a display component of a second
virtual sub-pixel of the same color, and the second virtual
sub-pixel has an overlapping area with a single first virtual
sub-pixel. It is understood that the display component can be
represented by "brightness", or can be represented by other
measurement parameters, such as "gray scale", "saturation" and the
like. In addition, in the at least two adjacent first virtual
sub-pixels, a difference in intervals between every two adjacent
first virtual pixels is no greater than two first virtual pixels.
Moreover, the at least two first virtual sub-pixels can be two
first virtual sub-pixels, or can be more than two first virtual
sub-pixels, for example, three first virtual sub-pixels. In order
to reduce calculation workload, it is selected to calculate a
display component of a second virtual sub-pixel according to
display components of first virtual sub-pixels of a same color as
the second virtual sub-pixel in two adjacent first virtual pixels.
In order to facilitate sampling the first virtual sub-pixel, it can
calculate a display component of a second virtual sub-pixel
according to display components of first virtual sub-pixels of a
same color as the second virtual sub-pixel in two adjacent first
virtual pixels.
In the embodiment above, exemplarily, the proportional coefficients
can be 0, 0.1, 0.35, 0.5, 0.85, 0.9, 1 and the like. For example,
given that a sum of proportional coefficients of all the first
virtual sub-pixels used for calculating the display component of
the second virtual sub-pixel equals to 1, then an overall display
component of an image constituted by the second virtual pixel is
the same as an overall display component of the original image.
For example, a sum of proportional coefficients of all the first
virtual sub-pixels used for calculating the display component of
the second virtual sub-pixel equals to 1, and each of proportional
coefficients of the first virtual sub-pixels are identical with
each other. In this way, the calculation is relatively simple, and
a sum of all the proportional coefficients equals to 1, which
allows a good image quality.
The first virtual sub-pixels of a same color in at least two
adjacent first virtual pixels include: a first virtual sub-pixel
having a same location and a same color as a second virtual
sub-pixel in a single first virtual pixel, and a first virtual
sub-pixel of a same color as the second virtual sub-pixel in at
least one first virtual pixel adjacent to the single first virtual
pixel in row direction or column direction; or include: a first
virtual sub-pixel having a same location and a same color as a
second virtual sub-pixel in a single first virtual pixel, a first
virtual sub-pixel of a same color as the second virtual sub-pixel
in at least one first virtual pixel adjacent to the single first
virtual pixel in row direction, and a first virtual sub-pixel of a
same color as the second virtual sub-pixel in at least one first
virtual pixel adjacent to the single first virtual pixel in column
direction.
In a second solution, calculating a display component of a second
virtual sub-pixel according to a display component of a single
first virtual sub-pixel of a same color as the second virtual
sub-pixel. The second virtual sub-pixel has an overlapping area
with the first virtual sub-pixel. Exemplarily, the second virtual
sub-pixel is obtained by multiplying a single first virtual
sub-pixel by a value greater than 0 and smaller than 1. The above
value can be 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8 and the like.
As compared with the solution in which the second virtual sub-pixel
is obtained by calculation of a single first virtual sub-pixel, the
solution in which the second virtual sub-pixel is obtained by
calculating at least two adjacent first virtual sub-pixels can
improve a visual resolution of the display frame.
Optionally, each of the second virtual pixels can include a second
virtual red sub-pixel R, a second virtual green sub-pixel G and a
second virtual blue sub-pixel B, or can also include second virtual
sub-pixels of other colors, such as a second virtual white
sub-pixel W. Colors of the second virtual sub-pixels contained in
the second virtual pixel can be the same as or different from those
of the first virtual sub-pixels contained in the first virtual
pixel. Exemplarily, each of the first virtual pixels includes a
first virtual red sub-pixel R, a first virtual green sub-pixel G, a
first virtual blue sub-pixel B and a first virtual white sub-pixel
W, while each of the second virtual pixels includes a second
virtual red sub-pixel R, a second virtual green sub-pixel G and a
second virtual blue sub-pixel B; in this case, the first virtual
white sub-pixel W in the first virtual pixel can serve to improve a
brightness of the second virtual pixel.
S203, calculating a display component of a sub-pixel according to
display components of second virtual sub-pixels of a same color as
the sub-pixel in at least two adjacent second virtual pixels. A
location of the sub-pixel is overlapped with a location of a single
second virtual sub-pixel.
In at least two adjacent second virtual pixels, a difference in
intervals between every two adjacent second virtual pixels is no
more than two second virtual pixels. For example, at least two
virtual sub-pixels can be two second virtual sub-pixels, or can be
more than two second virtual sub-pixels, such as three second
virtual sub-pixels. In order to reduce calculation workload, for
example, calculating a display component of a sub-pixel according
to display components of second virtual sub-pixels of a same color
as the sub-pixel in two adjacent second virtual pixels.
Exemplarily, calculating a display component of a sub-pixel
according to display components of second virtual sub-pixels of a
same color as the sub-pixel in at least two adjacent second virtual
pixels includes: calculating a sum of products of multiplying
display components of second virtual sub-pixels of a same color in
two adjacent second virtual pixels by respective proportional
coefficients to obtain a display component of a sub-pixel of the
same color as the second virtual sub-pixel. In case that the each
of the proportional coefficients equal to 1, it can be: calculating
a sum of display components of second virtual sub-pixels of a same
color in two adjacent second virtual pixels to obtain a display
component of a sub-pixel of the same color as the second virtual
sub-pixel. In addition, in order to facilitate sampling the second
virtual sub-pixel, for example, a display component of a sub-pixel
can be calculated according to display components of second virtual
sub-pixels of a same color as the sub-pixel in two adjacent second
virtual pixels.
The second virtual sub-pixel and the sub-pixel have a same length
in row direction and column direction, and the display component of
the sub-pixel is obtained by calculation on display components of
two adjacent second virtual sub-pixels, which can improve a visual
resolution. Furthermore, a line displayed by two second virtual
sub-pixels is displayed by a single sub-pixel, which can optimize a
display effect of lines in a display frame.
The second virtual sub-pixels of a same color in at least two
adjacent second virtual pixels include: a second virtual sub-pixel
having a same location and a same color as a sub-pixel in a single
second virtual pixel, and a second virtual sub-pixel of a same
color as the sub-pixel in a second virtual pixel adjacent to the
single second virtual pixel in row direction or column
direction.
For being understood by an ordinary skill in the art, the display
method as provided by embodiments of the present disclosure are
described in details with reference to two structures of display
panel as illustrated in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, respectively. In a first
structure as illustrated in FIG. 3, sub-pixels 11 in the display
panel are arranged in a triangle-shaped arrangement manner, a
length of the sub-pixel 11 in row direction is 2/3 of a length
thereof in column direction; in a second structure as illustrated
in FIG. 4, sub-pixels 11 in the display panel are arranged in a
triangle-shaped arrangement manner, a length of the sub-pixel 11 in
row direction equaling to a length thereof in column direction. The
display panel can have other structures. The present disclosure is
not limited thereto.
Exemplarily, embodiments of the present disclosure provide three
display methods. The first structure of the display panel can be
used in the first display method and the second display method,
while the second structure of the display panel can be used in the
first display method, the second display method and the third
display method. As a result, in the first display method and the
second display method, description is exemplarily given with
reference to the first structure of the display panel, and the
display method of the second structure may refer to the display
method of the first structure; and in the third display method,
description is exemplarily given with reference to the second
structure of the display panel.
It is explained that, in the following three display methods, as
illustrated in FIG. 5, the original image in the step S201 includes
a plurality of first virtual pixels 2, each of the first virtual
pixels 2 includes a plurality of first virtual sub-pixels 21 of
different colors. The first virtual sub-pixels 21 are arranged in a
strip-shaped arrangement manner. A length of the first virtual
sub-pixel 21 in column direction is the same as a length of the
sub-pixel 11 in column direction, and a length of the first virtual
sub-pixel 21 in row direction is 1/3 of a length of the first
virtual sub-pixel 21 in column direction. Exemplarily, each of the
first virtual pixels 2 includes a first virtual red sub-pixel R, a
first virtual green sub-pixel G and a first virtual blue sub-pixel
B.
The calculation method of "calculating a display component of a
sub-pixel according to display components of second virtual
sub-pixels of a same color as the sub-pixel in two adjacent second
virtual pixels" is similar to the calculation method of
"calculating a display component of a sub-pixel according to
display components of second virtual sub-pixels of a same color as
the sub-pixel in at least two adjacent second virtual pixels",
hereinafter the calculation method is described by an example of
"calculating a display component of a sub-pixel according to
display components of second virtual sub-pixels of a same color as
the sub-pixel in two adjacent second virtual pixels."
The sampling of "first virtual sub-pixels of a same color in at
least two adjacent first virtual pixels" and the sampling of
"second virtual sub-pixels of a same color in at least two adjacent
second virtual pixels" can be implemented by plenty of types of
manners, and the sampling methods are similar, so only several
manners thereof are exemplarily described in the following three
display methods. Other sampling situations may refer to those as
described herein, and no details are repeated herein.
Display Method I
The first solution in step S202 is described as below.
Exemplarily, "first virtual sub-pixels of a same color in at least
two adjacent first virtual pixels" in the first solution of step
S202 includes: a first virtual sub-pixel having a same location and
a same color as a second virtual sub-pixel in a single first
virtual pixel, and a first virtual sub-pixel of a same color as the
second virtual sub-pixel in at least one first virtual pixel
adjacent to the above single first virtual pixel in a row
column.
Only display components of first virtual sub-pixels of a same color
in two adjacent first virtual pixels are selected for calculating
the display component of the second virtual sub-pixel of the same
color, it can simplify the selection and also the calculation of
the display components of the second virtual sub-pixel. As a
result, hereinafter it is exemplarily described as illustrated in
FIG. 6. That is, "first virtual sub-pixels of a same color in two
adjacent first virtual pixels" includes: a first virtual sub-pixel
21 having a same location and a same color as a second virtual
sub-pixel 31 in a single first virtual pixel 2, for example, as
illustrated in FIG. 6, a second virtual sub-pixel 31 is at a first
location of a first row, while a first virtual sub-pixel 21 of a
same color as the second virtual sub-pixel 31 is also at a first
location in a first row; and a first virtual sub-pixels 21 of a
same color as the second virtual sub-pixel 31 in a first virtual
pixel 2 adjacent to the above first virtual pixel 2 in row
direction, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 6, a second virtual
sub-pixel 31 is at a first location of a first row, while a first
virtual pixel 2 where the second first virtual sub-pixel 21 is
located is at a same row as and adjacent to a first virtual pixel 2
where the above first virtual sub-pixel 21 at the first location of
the first row is located.
In such case, "calculating a display component of a second virtual
sub-pixel according to display components of first virtual
sub-pixels of a same color as the second virtual sub-pixel in two
adjacent first virtual pixels" can be performed as below.
As illustrated in FIG. 6, calculating a sum of products of
multiplying display components of first virtual sub-pixels 21 of a
same color in two adjacent first virtual pixels 2 in row direction
by respective proportional coefficients to obtain a display
component of a second virtual sub-pixel 31 of the same color as the
first virtual sub-pixels 21. Exemplarily, given that the display
components of the two first virtual sub-pixels 21 of the same color
are B1 and B2 respectively, and that the corresponding proportional
coefficients are 0.3 and 0.6 respectively, then the display
component of the second virtual sub-pixel 31 is B3=B1*0.3+B2*0.6.
In such case, an overall display component of an image constituted
by all the second virtual pixels 3 is smaller than an overall
display component of the original image.
For example, a sum of proportional coefficients of all the first
virtual sub-pixels 21 used for calculating the display component of
the second virtual sub-pixel 31 equals to 1, and the proportional
coefficients of the first virtual sub-pixels 21 are identical with
each other; as a result, an overall display component of an image
constituted by all the second virtual pixels 3 is the same as an
overall display component of the original image.
As illustrated in FIG. 6, the second virtual sub-pixel 31 is
co-determined by two first virtual sub-pixels 21, so it can improve
a visual resolution of a display panel constituted by the second
virtual pixels 3 and allow it being approximate to a physical
resolution of a display panel in a strip-shaped arrangement
manner.
Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 7, "second virtual sub-pixels
of a same color in two adjacent second virtual pixels" in step S203
includes: a second virtual sub-pixel 31 in a single second virtual
pixel 3 having a same location and a same color as a sub-pixel 11;
and a second virtual sub-pixel 31 of a same color as the sub-pixel
11 in a second virtual pixel 3 adjacent to the above single second
virtual pixel 3 in column direction.
In such case, "calculating a display component of a sub-pixel
according to display components of second virtual sub-pixels of a
same color as the sub-pixel in two adjacent second virtual pixels"
in step S203 includes: as illustrated in FIG. 7, calculating a sum
of products of multiplying display components of second virtual
sub-pixels 31 of a same color in two adjacent second virtual pixels
3 in column direction by respective proportional coefficients to
obtain a display component of a sub-pixel 11 of the same color as
the second virtual sub-pixels 31. In case that each of the above
proportional coefficients equals to 1, by calculating a sum of
display components of second virtual sub-pixels 31 of a same color
in two adjacent second virtual pixels 3 in column direction, it can
obtain the display component of the sub-pixel 11 of the same color
as the second virtual sub-pixels 31. Exemplarily, given that the
display components of two second virtual sub-pixels 31 of the same
color both are B3, the display component of the sub-pixel 11 equals
to a sum of products of multiplying display components of the two
second virtual sub-pixels 31 by respective proportional
coefficients, that is, B4=B3*0.1+B3*0.3; or it can also equal to a
sum of display components of the two second virtual sub-pixels 31,
that is, B4=2*B3.
In conventional technology, for a display panel with the first
structure, both the visual resolution of display frames and the
display effect of lines in the display frames are poorer than that
of display frames in a strip-shaped arrangement manner. In
embodiments of the present disclosure, as illustrated in FIG. 7,
since the sub-pixel 11 is calculated from display components of two
adjacent second virtual sub-pixels 21, it can improve the visual
resolution of display frames. In addition, in the column direction,
a line displayed by two adjacent second virtual sub-pixels 31 is
displayed by a single sub-pixel 11, that is, a line in the column
direction of the display frame is displayed by a pixel 1;
furthermore, since a length (hereinafter referred to as "width") of
the pixel 1 in a row direction is 2/3 of a width of a second
virtual pixel 3 while the width of the second virtual pixel 3 is 2
times of a width of a first virtual pixel 2, the width of the pixel
1 is 4/3 times of the width of the first virtual pixel 2, that is,
nearly the same as the width of the first virtual pixel 2; as a
result, the display effect of a line in the column direction of the
display frame is similar to the display effect of a line in the
column direction of a display frame with a strip-shaped arrangement
manner.
Hereinafter the second solution in step S202 is described.
Exemplarily, as illustrated in FIG. 8, "calculating a display
component of a second virtual sub-pixel according to a display
component of a single first virtual sub-pixel of a same color as
the second virtual sub-pixel" in the second solution in step S202
can be: calculating a product of multiplying a display component of
a single first virtual sub-pixel by a value greater than 0 and
smaller than 1 to obtain a display component of a second virtual
sub-pixel of a same color as the single first virtual sub-pixel;
exemplarily, given that the display component of the first virtual
sub-pixel 21 is B1, multiplying B1 by a value, such as 0.5, to
obtain the display component of the second virtual sub-pixel 31 as
B3=B1/2, that is, a display component of a frame constituted by the
second virtual pixel 3 is a half of a display component of part of
a frame of the original image.
In such case, as illustrated in FIG. 8, "calculating a display
component of a sub-pixel according to display components of second
virtual sub-pixels of a same color as the sub-pixel in two adjacent
second virtual pixels" can be: calculating a sum of products of
display components of second virtual sub-pixels 31 of a same color
in two adjacent second virtual pixels 3 in a column direction to
obtain a display component of a sub-pixel 11 of the same color as
the second virtual sub-pixels 31. Exemplarily, as illustrated in
FIG. 8, the display components of two second virtual sub-pixels 31
of the same color are both B3, then the display component of the
sub-pixel 11 is a sum of display components of the second virtual
sub-pixels 31, that is, B4=2*B3. In FIG. 7, since a value of the
display component B3 is 1/2 of a value of the display component B1,
it obtains B4=B1; in such case, a display component of a frame
constituted by the pixel 1 is the same as a display component of
part of a frame in the original image, so that the color, the
brightness and the like of the display frame remain the same, which
generates an optimum display effect.
As illustrated in FIG. 8, in embodiments of the present disclosure,
the sub-pixel 11 is calculated from display components of two
adjacent second virtual sub-pixels 21, it can improve the visual
resolution of the display frame. In addition, a line in a column
direction displayed by two adjacent second virtual sub-pixels 31 is
displayed by a single sub-pixel 11, that is, a line in a column
direction of the display frame is displayed by the pixel 1, and a
length (hereinafter referred to as width) of the pixel 1 in a row
direction is 2/3 of a width of the second virtual pixel 3, while
the width of the second virtual pixel 3 is 2 times of a width of
the first virtual pixel 2, the width of the pixel 1 is 4/3 times of
the width of the first virtual pixel 2, that is, nearly the same as
the width of the first virtual pixel 2; as a result, the display
effect of a line in a column direction of the display frame is
similar to the display effect of a line in a column direction of a
display frame in a strip-shaped arrangement manner.
Exemplarily, as illustrated in FIG. 9, in case that part of a frame
in the original image is only displayed by first virtual pixels 2
in inclined directions, using the first display method allows the
display effect of a line in a row direction of the display frame to
be the same as the display effect of a line in a column direction
of a display frame in a strip-shaped arrangement manner, and allows
the display effect of a line in a column direction of the display
frame to be similar to the display effect of a line in a column
direction of a display frame in a strip-shaped arrangement
manner.
Display Method II
The first solution in step S202 is described as below.
Exemplarily, "first virtual sub-pixels of a same color in at least
two adjacent first virtual pixels" recorded in the first solution
of step S202 includes: a first virtual sub-pixel having a same
location and a same color as a second virtual sub-pixel in a single
first virtual pixel, and a first virtual sub-pixel of a same color
as the second virtual sub-pixel in at least one first virtual pixel
adjacent to the above single first virtual pixel in a column
direction.
Only display components of first virtual sub-pixels of a same color
in two adjacent first virtual pixels are selected for calculating
the display component of the second virtual sub-pixel of the same
color as the first virtual sub-pixels, and it can simplify the
selection and also the calculation of the display component of the
second virtual sub-pixel. As a result, it is described exemplarily
hereinafter by referring the situation as shown in FIG. 10. That
is, "first virtual sub-pixels of a same color in at least two
adjacent first virtual pixels" includes: a first virtual sub-pixel
21 having a same location and a same color as a second virtual
sub-pixel 31 in a single first virtual pixel 2, and a first virtual
sub-pixel 21 of a same color as the second virtual sub-pixels 31 in
a first virtual pixel 2 adjacent to the above single first virtual
pixel 2 in a column direction.
In such case, the "calculating a display component of a second
virtual sub-pixel according to display components of first virtual
sub-pixels of a same color as the second virtual sub-pixel in two
adjacent first virtual pixels" can be as follows.
As illustrated in FIG. 10, calculating a sum of products of
multiplying display components of first virtual sub-pixels 21 of a
same color in two adjacent first virtual pixels 2 in a column
direction by respective proportional coefficients to obtain a
display component of a second virtual sub-pixel 31 of the same
color as the first virtual sub-pixels 21. Exemplarily, given that
the display components of the two first virtual sub-pixels 21 of
the same color are B5 and B6 respectively, and that the
corresponding proportional coefficients are 0.4 and 0.5
respectively, then the display component of the second virtual
sub-pixel 31 is B7=B5*0.4+B6*0.5. In such case, an overall display
component of an image constituted by all the second virtual pixels
3 is smaller than an overall display component of the original
image. Furthermore, for example, a sum of all the proportional
coefficients used for calculating the display component of the
second virtual sub-pixel 31 equals to 1 and the proportional
coefficients of the first virtual sub-pixels 21 are identical with
each other, so that an overall display component of an image
constituted by all the second virtual pixels 3 is the same as an
overall display component of the original image.
As illustrated in FIG. 10, since the second virtual sub-pixel 31 is
co-determined by two first virtual sub-pixels 21, it can improve
the visual resolution of the display panel constituted by the
second virtual sub-pixel 31 to be approximate to a physical
resolution of a display panel with a strip-shaped arrangement
manner.
Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 11, "second virtual sub-pixels
of a same color in two adjacent second virtual pixels" included in
step S203 includes: a second virtual sub-pixel 31 having a same
location and a same color as a sub-pixel 11 in a single second
virtual pixel 3, and a second virtual sub-pixel 31 of a same color
as the sub-pixel 11 in a second virtual pixel 3 adjacent to the
above single second virtual pixel 3 in a row direction.
In such case, "calculating a display component of a sub-pixel
according to second virtual sub-pixels of a same color as the
sub-pixel in two adjacent second virtual pixels" can be as
below.
As illustrated in FIG. 11, calculating a sum of products of
multiplying display components of second virtual sub-pixels 31 of a
same color in two adjacent second virtual pixels 3 in a row
direction by respective proportional coefficients to obtain a
display component of a sub-pixel 11 of the same color as the second
virtual sub-pixels 31. In case that each of the proportional
coefficients equals to 1, it can be: calculating a sum of display
components of second virtual sub-pixels 31 of a same color in two
adjacent second virtual pixels 3 in a column direction to obtain a
display component of a sub-pixel 11 of the same color as the second
virtual sub-pixels 31. Exemplarily, both of the display components
of the two second virtual sub-pixels 31 are B7, then the display
component of the sub-pixel 11 can be a sum of products of
multiplying display components of the second virtual sub-pixels 31
by respective proportional coefficients, that is, B8=B7*0.3+B7*0.4;
or, the display component of the sub-pixel 11 can be a sum of
display components of the second virtual sub-pixels 31, that is,
B8=B7*2.
In a conventional technology, for a display panel with the first
structure, both the visual resolution of the display frame and the
display effect of a line in the display frame are poorer than that
of a display frame in a strip-shaped arrangement manner. In
contrast, in embodiments of the present disclosure, as illustrated
in FIG. 11, since the sub-pixel 11 is calculated from display
components of two adjacent second virtual sub-pixels 21, it can
improve the visual resolution of the display frame. Moreover, since
a line in a column direction displayed by two adjacent second
virtual sub-pixels 31 is displayed by a single sub-pixel 11, that
is, the line in the column direction of the display frame is
displayed by the pixel 1; and since a length (hereinafter referred
to as "height") of the pixel 1 in a column direction is 1/2 of a
height of the second virtual pixel 3, while the height of the
second virtual pixel 3 is 2 times of a height of the first virtual
pixel 2, the height of the pixel 1 is the same as the height of the
first virtual pixel 2; as a result, the display effect of a line in
a row direction of the display frame is the same as the display
effect of a line in a row direction of a display frame in a
strip-shaped arrangement manner.
Hereinafter the second solution in step S202 is described.
Exemplarily, as illustrated in FIG. 12, "calculating a display
component of a second virtual sub-pixel according to a display
component of a single first virtual sub-pixel of a same color as
the second virtual sub-pixel" in the second solution of step S202
can be: multiplying a display component of a single first virtual
sub-pixel by a value greater than 0 and smaller than 1 to obtain a
display component of a second virtual sub-pixel of a same color as
the first virtual sub-pixel; Exemplarily, the display component of
the first virtual sub-pixel 21 is B5, then multiplying the display
component of the second virtual sub-pixel by a value such as 0.5 to
obtain the display component of the second virtual sub-pixel 31 as
B7=B5/2, that is, a display component of a frame constituted by the
second virtual pixel 3 is a half of a display component of part of
a frame in the original image.
In such case, as illustrated in FIG. 12, "calculating a display
component of a sub-pixel according to display components of second
virtual sub-pixels of a same color as the sub-pixel in two adjacent
second virtual pixels" can be: calculating a sum of display
components of second virtual sub-pixels 31 of a same color in two
adjacent second virtual pixels 3 in a column direction to obtain a
display component of a sub-pixel 11 of the same color as the second
virtual sub-pixels 31. Exemplarily, as illustrated in FIG. 12, both
of the display components of the two second virtual sub-pixels 31
of a same color are B3, then the display component of the sub-pixel
11 is a sum of the display components of the second virtual
sub-pixels 31, that is, B8=2*B7. Since a value of the display
component B7 in FIG. 12 is 1/2 of a value of the display component
B5, it obtains B8=B5. In such case, a display component of a frame
constituted by the pixel 1 is the same as a display component of
part of a frame in the original image, so that the color, the
brightness and the like of the display frame remain the same, which
generates an optimum display effect.
Similar with the first structure, the embodiment above allows a
line in a row direction of the display frame to have a display
effect identical with that of a line in a column direction of a
display frame in a strip-shaped arrangement manner, and allows a
line in a column direction of the display frame to have a display
effect similar to that of a line in a column direction of a display
frame in a strip-shaped arrangement manner.
Display Method III
The first solution in step S202 is described as below.
In the step S202, "first virtual sub-pixels of a same color in at
least two adjacent first virtual pixels" in the first solution
includes: a first virtual sub-pixel having a same location and a
same color as a second virtual sub-pixel in a single first virtual
pixel, and a first virtual sub-pixel of a same color as the second
virtual sub-pixel in at least one first virtual pixel adjacent to
the above single first virtual pixel in a column direction.
Only display components of first virtual sub-pixels of a same color
in three adjacent first virtual pixels are selected for calculating
the display component of the second virtual sub-pixel of the same
color as the first virtual sub-pixels, it can simplify the
selection and also the calculation of the display component of the
second virtual sub-pixel. As a result, it is described exemplarily
hereinafter by referring to the situation as shown in FIG. 13. That
is, "first virtual sub-pixels of a same color in three adjacent
first virtual pixels" includes: a first virtual sub-pixels 21
having a same location and a same color as a second virtual
sub-pixel in a single first virtual pixel, a first virtual
sub-pixel 21 of a same color as the second virtual sub-pixel 31 in
a first virtual pixel 2 adjacent to the above single first virtual
pixel 2 in a row direction, and a first virtual sub-pixel 21 of a
same color as the second virtual sub-pixel 31 in a first virtual
pixel 2 adjacent to the above single first virtual pixel 2 in a
column direction.
In such case, "calculating a display component of a second virtual
sub-pixel according to display components of first virtual
sub-pixels of a same color as the second virtual sub-pixel in three
adjacent first virtual pixels" can be as follows.
As illustrated in FIG. 13, calculating a sum of products of
multiplying display components of first virtual sub-pixels 21 of a
same color in three adjacent first virtual pixels 2 by respective
proportional coefficients, to obtain a display component of a
second virtual sub-pixel 31 of the same color. Exemplarily, given
that the display components of the three first virtual sub-pixels
21 of a same color are B11, B12 and B13, respectively, and
corresponding proportional coefficients thereof are 0.1, 0.2 and
0.5, respectively, then the display component of the second virtual
sub-pixel 31 is B14=B11*0.1+B12*0.2+B13*0.5; in such case, an
overall display component of an image constituted by all the second
virtual pixels 3 is smaller than an overall display component of
the original image.
For example, a sum of proportional coefficients of all the first
virtual sub-pixels 21 used for calculating the display component of
the second virtual sub-pixel 31 equals to 1, and the proportional
coefficients are identical with each other, then an overall display
component of an image constituted by all the second virtual pixels
3 is the same as an overall display component of the original
image.
As illustrated in FIG. 13, since the second virtual sub-pixel 31 is
co-determined by three first virtual sub-pixels 21, it can improve
the visual resolution of a display panel constituted by the second
virtual pixel 3 to be approximate to a physical resolution of a
display panel in a strip-shaped arrangement manner.
Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 14, "second virtual sub-pixels
of a same color in two adjacent second virtual pixels" in step S203
includes: a second virtual sub-pixel 31 having a same location and
a same color as a sub-pixel 11 in a single second virtual pixel 3,
and a second virtual sub-pixel 31 of a same color as the sub-pixel
11 in a second virtual pixel 3 adjacent to the above single second
virtual pixel 3 in a row direction.
In such case, "calculating a display component of a sub-pixel
according to display components of second virtual sub-pixels of a
same color as the sub-pixel in two adjacent second virtual pixels"
in step S203 can be as follows:
As illustrated in FIG. 14, calculating a sum of products of
multiplying display components of second virtual sub-pixels 31 of a
same color in two second virtual pixels 3 adjacent in a row
direction by respective proportional coefficients to obtain a
display component of a sub-pixel 11 of the same color as the second
virtual sub-pixels 31. In case that each of the above proportional
coefficients equals to 1, it can be calculating a sum of display
components of second virtual sub-pixels 31 of a same color in two
adjacent second virtual pixels 3 in a column direction to obtain a
display component of a sub-pixel 11 of the same color as the second
virtual sub-pixels 31. Exemplarily, both of the display components
of the two second virtual sub-pixels 31 of a same color are B14,
then the display component of the sub-pixel 11 equals to a sum of
products of multiplying the display components of the two second
virtual sub-pixels 31 by respective proportional coefficients, that
is, B15=B14*0.3+B14*0.2; or it can also equal to a sum of the
display components of the second virtual sub-pixels 31, that is,
B15=B14*2.
In a conventional technology, for a display panel with the third
structure, both the visual resolution of the display frame and the
display effect of a line in the display frame are poorer than that
of a display frame in a strip-shaped arrangement manner. In
contrast, in embodiments of the present disclosure, as illustrated
in FIG. 14, since the sub-pixel 11 is calculated from display
components of two adjacent second virtual sub-pixels 21, it can
improve the visual resolution of the display frame. Moreover, a
line in a row direction displayed by two adjacent second virtual
sub-pixels 31 is displayed by a single sub-pixel 11, that is, a
line in a row direction in the display frame is displayed by the
pixel 1, and a height of the pixel 1 is 1/2 of a height of the
second virtual pixel 3 while the height of the second virtual pixel
3 is 2 times of a height of the first virtual pixel 2, the height
of the pixel 1 is the same as the height of the first virtual pixel
2; as a result, the display effect of a line in a row direction of
the display frame is the same as the display effect of a line in a
row direction of a display frame in a strip-shaped arrangement
manner.
Regarding the second solution in step S202, reference can be made
to the foregoing related description without repeating herein.
Based on the first, second and third display methods, it can be
seen that the display effect of a line in a column direction of a
display frame of a display panel with the first structure is better
than the display effect of a line in a column direction of a
display frame of a display panel with the second structure; as a
result, for example, a display panel with the first structure is
selected for a display device. Correspondingly, for example, the
first and second display methods are selected for a display method
of a display panel with the first structure.
In addition, for example, in the first, second and third display
methods, a display component of the sub-pixel is larger than a
display component of a second virtual sub-pixel of a same color as
the sub-pixel, which can optimize the display effect of a line as
displayed.

applicable for display panels in which sub-pixels are arranged in a
triangle-shaped arrangement manner, the display method includes:
generating an original image including a plurality of first virtual

strip-shaped arrangement manner; and then calculating a display
component of a second virtual sub-pixel according to display
components of first virtual sub-pixels of a same color as the
second virtual sub-pixel in at least one first virtual pixel. The
second virtual sub-pixel and the sub-pixel have a same length in a
row direction and in a column direction, and a second virtual pixel
includes a plurality of second virtual sub-pixels of different
colors. Finally, calculating a display component of a sub-pixel
according to display components of second virtual sub-pixels of a
same color as the sub-pixel in at least two adjacent second virtual
pixels. The display component of the sub-pixel is calculated from
second virtual sub-pixels of a same color as the sub-pixel in at
least two adjacent second virtual pixels, that is, the sub-pixel is
co-determined by at least two second virtual sub-pixels, it can
improve the visual resolution; furthermore, a line displayed by at
least two adjacent second virtual sub-pixels is displayed by a
single sub-pixel, it can improve the display effect of a line in
the display frame.

second virtual sub-pixel and the sub-pixel have a same length in a
row direction and a column direction, that is, second virtual
sub-pixels and sub-pixels are all arranged in a triangle-shaped
arrangement manner, and a display component of a single sub-pixel
is obtained from display components of at least two adjacent second
virtual sub-pixels which allows a single sub-pixel to be displayed
by at least two second virtual sub-pixels, it can improve the
visual resolution of the display panel, and allows a line displayed
by at least two second virtual sub-pixels to be displayed by a
single sub-pixel, and optimize the display effect of a line in a
display frame in a triangle-shaped arrangement manner.

sub-pixel to obtain first virtual sub-pixels of a same color in at
least one first virtual pixel; and a first calculating device
connected to the first sampling device and configured to calculate
a display component of a second virtual sub-pixel according to
display components of first virtual sub-pixels of a same color as
the second virtual sub-pixel in at least one first virtual pixel as
obtained by the first sampling device. The second display component
calculating module 1503 includes: a second sampling device
connected to the first calculating device and configured to sample
the second virtual sub-pixel to obtain second virtual sub-pixels of
a same color in at least two adjacent second virtual pixels; and a
second calculating device connected to the second sampling device
and configured to calculate a display component of a sub-pixel
according to display components of second virtual sub-pixels of a
same color as the sub-pixel in at least two adjacent second virtual
pixels as obtained by the second sampling device.
Exemplarily, in the embodiment above, the first calculating device
can be configured to calculate a sum of products of multiplying
display components of first virtual sub-pixels of a same color in
at least two adjacent first virtual pixels as sampled by the first
sampling device to obtain a display component of a second virtual
sub-pixel of a same color as the first virtual sub-pixels. The
second virtual sub-pixel has an overlapping area with a single
first virtual sub-pixel.
Exemplarily, the first calculating device can be further configured
to calculate a display component of a second virtual sub-pixel
according to a display component of a single first virtual
sub-pixel of a same color as the second virtual sub-pixel as
sampled by the first sampling device. The second virtual sub-pixel
has an overlapping area with the first virtual sub-pixel.
Exemplarily, in the embodiment above, the second calculating device
can be configured to, for example, calculate a sum of products of
multiplying display components of second virtual sub-pixels of a
same color in at least two adjacent second virtual pixels as
sampled by the second sampling device to obtain a display component
of a sub-pixel of the same color as the second virtual sub-pixels.
The sub-pixel has an overlapping area with a single second virtual
sub-pixel.
Exemplarily, in the embodiment above, the first sampling device can
be configured to sample the first virtual sub-pixel to obtain: a
first virtual sub-pixel having a same location and a same color as
a second virtual sub-pixel in a single first virtual pixel, and a
first virtual sub-pixel of a same color as the second virtual
sub-pixel in at least one first virtual pixel adjacent to the
single first virtual pixel in a row direction or a column
direction.
Exemplarily, in the embodiment above, the first sampling device can
be further configured to sample the first virtual sub-pixel to
obtain: a first virtual sub-pixel having a same location and a same
color as a second virtual sub-pixel in a single first virtual
pixel, a first virtual sub-pixel of a same color as the second
virtual sub-pixel in at least one first virtual pixel adjacent to
the single first virtual pixel in a row direction, and a first
virtual sub-pixel of a same color as the second virtual sub-pixel
in at least one first virtual pixel adjacent to the single first
virtual pixel in a column direction.
Exemplarily, in the embodiment above, the second sampling device
can be configured to, for example, sample the second virtual
sub-pixel to obtain: a second virtual sub-pixel having a same
location and a same color as a sub-pixel in a single second virtual
pixel, and a second virtual sub-pixel of a same color as the
sub-pixel in a second virtual pixel adjacent to the single second
virtual pixel in a row direction or a column direction. The display
device can be liquid crystal panel, tablet computer, television,
display, notebook computer and any other product or component
having display function.
